Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida has just filed a new bill that would severely punish any federal agents caught hiding or destroying government documents.
The bill is known as the Stopping High-level Record Elimination and Destruction (SHRED) Act.
If passed, it would mandate that any guilty officials or employees be given a minimum of 20 years behind bars, with a maximum life sentence.
Here are the details:

The bill comes amid Rep. Luna’s ongoing battle with the DOJ to declassify the Epstein files, as well as documents surrounding the JFK assassination.
It would be a great way to hold those who are intentionally hiding the truth from the public accountable.
In other words, it would bring justice.
More from Fox News:
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., wants federal agents caught destroying or concealing government documents to be eligible for a life sentence in prison.
Luna, who is leading a task force on the declassification of government records, is introducing a new bill called the Stopping High-level Record Elimination and Destruction (SHRED) Act of 2025.
It would levy a mandatory sentence of 20 years to life for any government official or employee of the Department of Justice (DOJ), or anyone in the wider intelligence community, found to have concealed, removed, or mutilated federal records, according to bill text previewed by Fox News Digital.
Federal law currently dictates that anyone found knowingly destroying, falsifying, or obstructing government records “with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation or proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States” is eligible for a fine or up to 20 years in prison.
Any custodian of public records found to be destroying or concealing those records could be fined up to $2,000 or face up to three years in prison, or both.
Luna’s push for increased penalties comes amid her continued standoff with the Department of Justice (DOJ) over the declassification of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy Jr., among others.
What do you think?
Would you like to see this bill passed?
Should those people responsible for hiding and destroying the truth go to jail for life?

Absolutely, the public needs to see real consequences for violations of the law, especially when it involves government integrity.
Implementing strict penalties like those in the SHRED Act—minimum 20 years, maximum life in prison—could serve as a powerful deterrent and restore…
